Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-06-30 23:28:00.
With his exceptional footballing abilities, it was only a matter of time before Lionel Messi made his mark in the world of superhero films. Although he hasn’t landed a comic-book hero of his own just yet, the Argentine sensation is already featured prominently in a promotional ad for the upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” alongside Tom Holland.
In the advertisement, Messi steps into a coffee shop and encounters Holland, who appears as the everyday character Peter Parker. In a playful twist, Messi reveals that he is on a citywide quest to locate Spider-Man, utilizing a tracker on his mobile device.
